Summary
It is your bond that one day leads your hearts together—your bond that lets him call you mate. When you first press your lips to his, you cannot imagine anything better than his body against yours.
You are happy by his side. You are blissfully in love; you are his as he is yours. There is nothing in the world that could change this. So you think.
It isn't more than two seasons before a steady distance starts to grow.
From the moment you first met face to face, you could imagine nothing less than forever by his side.
You have no way to know what forever truly means until the truth is right in front of you.

Summary
You think you can deal with it if you leave knowing you've reassured your mate, though.
"And you'll remain with me," you cannot help but tease, "Who knows? Maybe if we think really hard about each other tonight, I can see you in my dreams."
An odd expression passes over your mate's face. It's there and gone before you blink, and it melts down into a chuckle that makes your finer hairs lift on end. "Perhaps," he murmurs, "you will get lucky tonight, beloved."
You haven't missed a single day of visits since the Fire Seal. Now, you're missing three.
As it turns out, you're not the only one feeling your absence.

Summary
His ear flicks, once. The tassel of his earring sways. Slowly, he thaws. "You take quite good care of them."
Your smile is tight. "I try."
"You do," he states like it is fact. "I have never seen such admiration until now," his smile, unlike yours, is wry. "Not even amidst my own tender garden."
You struggle to believe that. Considering that he can hear the needs of his crops while you're only guessing based on what's worked so far, you doubt you're anything more than decently appreciated.
Nonetheless, you say, "I'm glad to hear that. I'd like to think I do right by them."
Caldarus hums. It is a deep sound, from the bottom of his throat. It's a warm day today, but you shiver when you hear it. "My dear," he murmurs, "I cannot imagine you doing anything but."
Time passes. Life is good. By a twist of fate, your beloved finds a way to join you in your day to day life. He's getting stronger by the day--you don't think you've ever been happier.
The world, however, rarely brings itself to care about fragile hearts. The underground is stirring, and what lies beneath might be too large for anyone to handle.
Anyone, perhaps, save for a dragon.

Summary
It does not matter either way. There is nothing he can do should you need to be saved.
A feeling so vile it burns his throat courses through him. He is incapable, perhaps, but for you, he would like to be more. For you, his soul decries, he must be brave. He may not be able to interfere in your affairs, or shield you in any way that will truly matter…
Caldarus takes his first step out of the Deep Woods.
Caldarus worries. He also leaves the forest, eats some cherries and scares a man, but... first and foremost, he worries.
